Chances are it's a direct result of the owners ability to understand the economic environment in which he/she operates and effectively analyzing market demand and supply as it relates to his/her industry.
In order to do so, small business owners must have strong business and financial skill sets that enable them to perform and analyze many sets of detailed reports which include but are not limited to financial statements, competitive analyses, and assessments of opportunities and threats. And in order to do this, small business owners must spend an enormous amount of time and money to go to business school and obtain advanced degrees in business administration, finance, accounting and/or economics. Or, they could hire staff who hold these advanced degrees and skill sets but pay them the high salaries in which they demand, and deserve. Or, they can simply contract an advisor who too has strong business and financial skills with advanced degrees, but require only a fraction of the costs and can be obtained on an at-need basis. For many small business owners, the latter is the most logical choice of action. And that's where Scopo comes into play.

All of this and more will have consequences on our local economy, and depending on how you position your small business will determine what will ultimately happen.
